A question from a newbie
Hi. I come from the theoretical side of computer science but the time has come and I have to make something that actually works so I turn to you experts in search of good advice before I start to write hundreds code lines. The objective is to build a user interface with c# (which I basically know how to do – 40 hours course 2 years ago… ) that will activate a code that I want to write in C++. I open my Visual and have to choose the type of my new project. In the interface part it looks easy enough – I should choose C# project and a “window application” . Right ? What kind of C++ project I should build to be called by the C# window application ? (A voice from my past says “DLL” but I never touched these creatures…) Any advise/tip/link to a useful web example/other ideas will be highly appreciated. I can especially use examples on how to integrate the two projects – I never implemented something like this – till now my coding experience was mainly on what the windows people call – stand alone console application. I hope I’m at the right forum and apologize if the English is causing any troubles – this is the only language my computer speaks. Thanks in advance.
